php-fpm(8) Scripting Language php-fpm(8)
NAME
php-fpm - PHP FastCGI Process Manager 'PHP-FPM'
SYNOPSIS
php-fpm [options]
DESCRIPTION
PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is espe-
cially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. This
is a variant of PHP that will run in the background as a daemon, lis-
tening for CGI requests. Output is logged to /usr/var/log/php-fpm.log.
Most options are set in the configuration file. The configuration file
is /private/etc/php-fpm.conf. By default, php-fpm will respond to CGI
requests listening on localhost http port 9000. Therefore php-fpm
expects your webserver to forward all requests for '.php' files to port
9000 and you should edit your webserver configuration file appropri-
ately.

figuration file (the default is /private/etc/php-
fpm.conf)

(-tt), the configuration is dumped before exiting.
--daemonize
-D Force to run in background and ignore daemonize option
from configuration file.

FILES
php-fpm.conf The configuration file for the php-fpm daemon.
php.ini The standard php configuration file.
EXAMPLES
For any unix systems which use init.d for their main process manager,
you should use the init script provided to start and stop the php-fpm
daemon.
sudo /etc/init.d/php-fpm start
For any unix systems which use systemd for their main process manager,
you should use the unit file provided to start and stop the php-fpm
daemon.
sudo systemctl start php-fpm.service
If your installation has no appropriate init script, launch php-fpm
with no arguments. It will launch as a daemon (background process) by
default. The file /usr/var/run/php-fpm.pid determines whether php-fpm
is already up and running. Once started, php-fpm then responds to sev-
eral POSIX signals:
SIGINT,SIGTERM immediate termination
SIGQUIT graceful stop
SIGUSR1 re-open log file
SIGUSR2 graceful reload of all workers + reload of
fpm conf/binary
TIPS
The PHP-FPM CGI daemon will work well with most popular webservers,
including Apache2, lighttpd and nginx.
